Question

North American woodland plant with yellow root with medicinal properties _ O _ H _ _ S _ _ L?

Answer 1

Hey. Is this a word search? If so it could possibly be goldenseal and the "H" is therefore wrong. Goldenseal is an american plant common in hardwood forests. It has a distinctive yellow root and is used by many native american tribes to treat things such as coughs, digestive upset and even snake bites. Hope this is the right answer.
